Chapter 28 What is Art?
"Leaving aside the matter of who will buy my life, you must know that I will not ask you to come to the Ark through the teacher for no reason, and then let you bring Caesar here."
Ange nodded and said, "Except for my friends, the students and teachers of the academy, almost everyone who knows the lethality of my words does not like to be in the same room with me, after all, it doesn't feel good to have your life in the hands of others. ”
"You're a good educator, the students love you, the teachers respect you, but many people in the academy don't know what's behind that academy."
"They don't need to be clear."
"Is revenge so important to you?"
Ange had iron-gray clouds in his eyes, and he emphasized word by word:
"I have lived for more than 100 years, and the biggest motivation to keep me alive is revenge."
"There is at least one subspecies in the ruins where Monsieur Laurent disappeared." Chen Mo's meaning was self-evident, "All dragons are the target of your revenge, and I think that one is no exception." ”
"I called you here from Chicago to help you kill that dragon."
Ange grabbed his right wrist with his left hand and turned slightly: "I want the life of those monsters, yes, but someone doesn't want it to die so quickly." ”
"So there's one less guest for this meeting right now." Chen Mo walked to Dia, who had fallen there and was completely dead, and took out a strangely shaped phone from his pocket, and Chen Mo pressed it on the phone.
"Please pick up Mr. Frost or Mr. Pompey, thank you."
There was silence on the other side of the phone, not to mention human voices, not even the slightest ambient sound.
So Chen Mo repeated again: "Please pick up Mr. Frost or Mr. Pompey, thank you." ”
There was no response.
So Chen Mo turned his head: "Caesar, come and say hello to your father or uncle." ”
Before Caesar could say a word, a deep voice came out of the phone's microphone: "I'm Frost." Is Caesar by your side now? ”
"It's not just Master Caesar next to me, but Headmaster Angers is also here." Chen Mo replied and turned on the phone's loudspeaker, Frost's voice could be heard by everyone around.
"What is the purpose of your call to me?"
"It's been three days since I came out of the school ice cellar, and it's been five days since Mr. Georges Laurent and all the members of the development site disappeared, and everyone here has something to do with it, and I think we need to talk about it openly and openly."
Ange showed an interested expression on his face: "Let's talk, what are you going to talk about?" ”
And Frost on the phone surprisingly did not refuse: "You can talk about it." ”
Elisabeth Laurent nodded slightly at him.
"Frankly, I'm also a wanted criminal on the secret party's list now." "It's like the impact of Watergate is going to be much bigger than the appearance of a body being shot on the Kansas prairie," Chen said. ”
"As far as I know, the treatment of those dangerous hybrids who were captured by the academy is not very good, and I still want to live, live well."
Ange looked at the student in front of him who did not shy away from speaking with interest: "There is a similar crime in the rules of trial left by King Solomon, and if the secret party really initiates a trial against you, I am afraid that you will only be dead." ”
"Who has proof that it was me who invaded the ice cellar that night?"
Ange turned his attention to Frost, or the black odd phone.
Frost's voice was low and slow, and there was a clear malice in it: "My secretary went to the ice cellar that night, he saw you in Jotunheim, and you knocked him unconscious, don't you remember?" ”
Chen Mo clapped his hands: "But why did your secretary appear in the ice cellar that night for no reason?" ”
Ange began to smile and groan, and if Frost was really here, he could read the schadenfreude on Ange's face and some kind of scrooge touching gold.
"Gattuso has the highest authority for the white card, and Patsy only has the authority to visit the ice cellar on my behalf as a school trustee."
Frost also couldn't see Chen Mo's expression at this moment, which was the hunter's satisfaction when he saw the prey walking towards the trap step by step: "So have you and the other school directors ever wondered how I got into the ice cellar?" ”
"Black card."
"In the entire college, the only people who have permission cards that can pass through the ice cellar are the school director and the principal."
Frost asked the question knowing the answer: "It can't be Angers, so you took the night watchman's black card?" Patsy mentioned in his report that this student possessed the ability to penetrate Jotunheim's alchemy matrix, and as the author of the matrix, he was also the undisputed strongest in Kassel alchemy, and it was easy to associate him with Nicholas Flammel.
"How do you know I don't have the teacher's instructions?"
"Is the Night's Watch your teacher?" Frost let out an exclamation that looked like a question, and then sneered: "Gattuso is not only the trustee of Kassel, but also a member of the Council of Elders of the Secret Party, even if you use him as an excuse, you will definitely be convicted in the trial of the Council of Elders. ”
"That's why I'm calling. In the end, whether my crime is convicted or not is only due to the attitude of the Council of Elders of the Secret Party. ”
"You want to ask for mercy?"
"It's not a plea, it's business."
"We won't do business with the dead, the second group of Gattuso's 'Chosen One' troops have already entered the Ark, and the security forces of a hotel can't stop it for long."
Chen Mo smiled bitterly and teased at Ange: "Headmaster, you, the executor of the Council of Elders of the Secret Party, have really failed, obviously you are here, and he has spent so much effort to send so many killers to take my life." ”
Ange ignored his teasing: "Is there any other way?" Gattuso is not in the Council of Elders, your teacher plus half of Laurent's influence in the Secret Party is not much inferior to them, and you are not without the possibility of innocence. ”
"I was able to enter the ice cellar thanks to the teacher, he doesn't owe me anything, how dare I trouble him again? I didn't plan to rely on the teacher or ...... to get this far" Chen Mo turned his head to look at Elizabeth next to him, the girl was expressionless, as if she hadn't heard anything: "Or maybe it's something I never expected." ”
Now Chen Mo was filled with a restless aura all over his body, but he smiled faintly instead:
"I was going to be reasonable from the beginning, but it turned out that some daunting persuasion was a prerequisite for reasoning."
He walked to the corner of the conference room and pulled out a backpack that had been prepared long ago, the result of the fact that he had been sleeping and eating in the alchemy workshop for almost two days since he arrived at the Ark.
He quickly pulled the contents out of his backpack.
It was a heart, mixed with black and lava, covered with bright red lines, and there seemed to be real blood flowing in the lines, and the restlessness and horror emanating from the whole heart filled the entire conference room at once.
The temperature of the entire conference room seemed to rise all at once, and some irritable thoughts rose in everyone's hearts.
Chen Mo smiled and began to explain in a very calm tone:
"It's a bomb."
